Surprised it's not here. Epic show, one of the best of the 80s.

Crazy Fingers
July 18, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds

How in tarnation is this only 5 votes?!? Always a tough tune to totally pull off live, true, but always a thing of ragged beauty! This was the first since 9/30/76... The coda jam, outro, whatever we want to call it, is gorgeous and lush! Lyrically, Hunter was running on all cylinders here and when they manage to pull it off so sweetly and Jerry let's those crazy fingers go....
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Avalon Ballroom

Whoa. This has become a new favorite.... Everyone should listen. Entire show is ridiculous. Especially the Eleven and the Cryptical Reprise, though the whole show is tight and magnificent and sublime.
Eyes Of The World

Dane County Coliseum

Amazing Eyes!!!!

Nassau Coliseum

Jammy! Quick-paced but over 15 minutes long. The jam out of Estimated is excellent, and it continues in that vein... Love the comparison to 11/4/77 at Colgate, which is perhaps my favorite of all the "FAST" EYES!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 28, 1982
Oregon Country Fairgrounds

Superb!!! As strong an example of early 80s China-Rider as the trip to Kesey’s 10 years earlier is a fine example of ‘72 China-Rider.
